    It is discrimination against black albinos.

    Nope as long as the BBC admits it is racist by not delibrately employing people from those backgrounds, and the few they do they pay them less.

    You are aware the Equality Act allows places like hospitals, schools and care home to specifically ask for male candidates only? And they can also state those men can come from a particular religious background e.g. Christianity, Hinduism if it is relevant.

    (On another note anyone who wants to go into journalism now is mad. The average pay has fallen loads since the internet has got more popular.)

    There's probably a similar job being advertised by the BBC, paying a lot more but with the condition that This internship is only open to candidates from a white background.

    Only if they are gay and have a leg missing...

    The worst part of that advert is the divisiveness it causes by openly pitching race in society. When we talk about inclusiveness we need to be inclusive not replace one cozy little club with the next one.

    I agree that we are imbalanced now but there should never be a position where a job is not open to you because of your age, sex or race. The best person should always get the role if we need to do something to get the other candidates up to scratch thats a different matter and one we need to address sooner rather than later. But discrimination positive or otherwise is illegal.
    Where I work it is like a box ticking exercise.

    Got some black people - tick

    How about a Lesbian - tick

    Maybe a disabled person - yup one of those also

    Anyone been employed who actually has the skills for the job - maybe - but it wasn't the focus of the recruitment.
